So what are you going to do with all that data that you can pump out of Niagara N4? How are you going to get it in a format that is easy to see, easy to understand, easy to normalize, easy to install, and easy to customize, at a cost that is easy on the budget? The “Men in Black” aka the DGLogik team have the products and answers to these questions, and they were out in full force at the 2016 Niagara Product Showcase. They were kind enough to show us their updated Project Assist 2.0.

Project Assist 2.0 for Facilities is a drag and drop facility application builder that allows users to easily create custom HTML5 interfaces in order to quickly gain complete insight into building performance and energy consumption. It delivers a fast, simple and intuitive user experience, offering full flexibility and customization without writing any code nor diving into the full design and development environment of their flagship product, DGLux5.

As you can see in the video Project Assist 2.0 allows you to reduce the number of hours it takes to provide visual solutions for your Niagara users. So if you want to connect it, build it, or deploy it the team at DGLogik has a solution for you.

Easily creating an application or dashboard to monitor your building data CAN happen in the nick of time with DGLogik’s evolutionary new wizard, Project Assist for DGLux5. Their team has created a “plug and play” wizard that allows users you to start designing and developing data-driven applications with some clicks and drags of a few buttons within a modern-design environment. There are four main menu components that provide a “hand-holding”, design and development experience. Read below.

Manage Templates

Managing Templates is where users define tree components with graphical references, zones and equipment visualizations. It’s essentially where one builds all “user side” graphical assets for the entire project. Import all building models and/or floor plans, link relevant nodes, and create fully customizable building equipment with DGLogik’s stock HVAC library entirely via a drag and drop environment. Have some of your own HVAC Graphics? No problem! Project Assist allows users to easily add their own HVAC graphics to the project!

Style Manager

The style manager gives users project property editability and style element flexibility that helps brand the entire application. Project Assist provides users with the modern necessities to customize applications and projects without having to completely think and create like a designer. Control and customize things like: Colors, Corner Styles (Round or sharp), Shadows & Reflections, Background Images & Watermarks. The best part is that you can save multiple themes and save them as style templates.

Launch Viewer

This feature simply serves as your landing page. It gives you the end result of your entire creation. LEARN MORE about Project Assist for DGLux5 by visiting www.DGLogik.com.
